I filed that as a debian bug (#501629 but it looks like #503053 is
also similar) and it was marked forwarded (here?) already.  it's easy
enough to test - just use m-x compile in emacs to run any of the
sphinx commandline tools, and notice that they're full of garbage :-)

I suggested a few possible fixes.  It's definitely a bug (fortunately
there's the -N workaround.)  It's not a matter of liking color or not,
it's a matter of what you get when you don't have it....
